Using the K&N air filter is easy. Just remove your old air filter from the factory air box and drop this new one in. Make sure it fits snugly. When it comes to maintenance, you don't need to replace it often. You can wash it instead. When cleaning, use a K&N filter cleaner and follow the instructions on the bottle. Let it dry completely before reinstalling. Be careful not to use any harsh chemicals as they might damage the filter. Regularly check the filter's condition. If it's very dirty, it's time to clean it. With proper care, this filter will serve you well for the life of your vehicle.
